Scroll to Top Implementation

Body

For blind/low vision nav, can we implement a native platform "scroll to top" button for repos/other relevant pages?
I don't see it currently, but it would wildly help the nav for long repos/discussion pages, etc.

Rationale for it being an accessibility feature is that I'm blind/low vision, and have found it difficult to navigate some long form content and losing my place/code spatial awareness 😂

I know there are browser extensions or custom scripts, but a native button would be great for accessible navigation.

Hi there @bloo-berries 👋🏼 ,

Thanks for sharing this feedback I have gone ahead and reported this as this is already something available in the Discussions feature.

In the meantime, you don't need a browser extension or custom script to quickly scroll back to the top of a page, another option is a keyboard shortcut. For Chrome: Command/Control + the Up arrow, I recommend searching your browser + device type to get the proper shortcuts.
